To regret that I did not go to university?

I have a pretty good job with a decent salary, I am a very content woman at this stage. Love my house and my husband and my little boy etc etc

But I can't help but feeling a little annoyed at myself for not being educated beyond GCSE level. I almost feel a little inferior to others that have - my DH and all of his family are super clever and have all been to/are going to University and I'm a little jealous. I never seemed to have a thirst for knowledge until my late 20s and now if money were no object I would love to study.

Does anyone else feel like this? Anyone been to Uni and regretted It?

I don’t use my degree for what it was intended for but it’s been very useful in getting good jobs. I’m glad I did it.

It's not even remotely about the independence thing as I moved out of home very young and have lived in house shares etc
My DH thinks I am more I intelligent than he is even though I didn't go to Uni. My mn posts certainly don't reflect this - I sound like a bit of an idiot when posting on here for some reason!
I have been researching different subjects for fun- History, a language, etc etc but feel as though I lack the discipline to ever be really good at something.
